Everything You Need to Know Before Buying a Raincoat from Custom Raincoat Fabric
WATER: REPELLENT VS. PROOF
Don't get caught in a severe thunderstorm with a waterproof jacket, thanks to a technical treatment called Durable Water Repellent (DWR), which is most effective at wicking a steady stream of water droplets (think light to moderate precipitation). It is a hydrophobic surface coating that allows rainwater to roll off the fabric. But——it can only exclude so much. If you need extra coverage, look for waterproof alternatives.
It's important to remember: there's very little rain that doesn't come with gusty winds. Terms like windproof and windproof are exactly the same as their respective names.
Material Matters
Look closely at the textile label on the inside of the jacket. Nylon or polyester with a DWR coating are the most common blends, but for more weather protection,
find the right one
Remember, all raincoats don't - and shouldn't - fit. Consider your lifestyle to help you choose the right shape and silhouette.

The type of jacket is also important. Waterproof raincoats, on the other hand, can be stronger because they are made with a laminated lining that acts as insurance to protect the garment from the rain.
